Re: mtd utilities work but ubi utilities do not?

[David Oberhollenzer <david.oberhollenzer@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,


there are unfortunately some historical obscurities hidden in the tooling and some things might
not be too obvious at first.

You don't need to use ubiformat, unless you want to flash an existing UBI image (generated
by ubinize). The ubiformat also tool won't generate a warning or an error if you don't specify
an image file and simply march on.


The work flow for what you want to do would look something like this:

# flash_erase /dev/mtd7 0 0
# ubiattach -p /dev/mtd7
# ubimkvol /dev/ubi0 -s 100MiB -N rootfs_data
# ubimkvol /dev/ubi0 -s 40MiB -N config_data
# ....


Sincerely, 

David
